Research Software Engineer

Jaro Camphuijsen


Jaro completed a Bachelor in Physics and Astronomy and a Master in Computational Science at the UvA. For his master’s thesis he worked on the parameterisation of fluid dynamics in atmospheric flow at the KNMI. He has a very broad scientific interest ranging from cell biology to plasma physics, and his technical skills range from numerical modelling to web development and scientific visualisation.

In his work at the eScience Center he enjoys new challenges and variety in his work. Jaro’s broad interest is reflected in his involvement in projects across various research fields. From ecology to behavioural science, from biophysics to geoscience, he is eager to help find creative solutions to complex problems and create communities around open source software.
